Book Nook - Brave Bird

 

Little Bird is afraid to leave the nest for the first time, but Mama Bird tells her that sometimes you have to be brave if you want to learn new things. With some encouragement from her family and friends, Little Bird becomes Brave Bird as she finds her wings and takes flight.


Little Bird’s journey to find the courage to fly helps her become Brave Bird—and gives children and adults alike a template they can use to conquer their own fears.

  1. Brave Bird helps kids talk about fear and how to manage those big feelings. We all are afraid sometimes. Having a toolbox of strategies to seek comfort and control is an important life lesson. Thank you for featuring Brave Bird in your blog. All the best- Judy Jamison
